Dag Hammarskjold
He who wants to keep his garden tidy doesn't reserve a plot for weeds.
Dag Hammarskjold

Dag Hammarskjold
The life of simplicity is simple, but it opens to us a book in which we never get beyond the first syllable.
Dag Hammarskjold
Constant attention by a good nurse may be just as important as a major operation by a surgeon.
Dag Hammarskjold
Set-backs in efforts to implement an ideal do not prove that the ideal is wrong...
Dag Hammarskjold
Unless there is a spiritual renaissance, the world will know no peace.
Dag Hammarskjold
Perhaps a great love is never returned. Had it been given warmth and shelter by its counterpart in the Other, perhaps it would have been hindered from ever growing to maturity. It gives us nothing. But in its world of loneliness it leads us up to the summits with wide vistas - of great insights.
Dag Hammarskjold
On the bookshelf of life, God is a useful work of reference, always at hand but seldom consulted.
Dag Hammarskjold
We are not permitted to choose the frame of our destiny. But what we put into it is ours.
Dag Hammarskjold
